This website was hacked and as a result I would like to inform you all about what has been done to fix this site and harden up security in mitigating further breaches including what you need to know:

Q: How do you know this site was hacked?

A:Gamerecon was on the Norton safe web list of websites infected with malware. Now it’s been removed by request and given the green light from Norton.

Q: How do you know this site is not still affected?

A: You can check any website for it’s integrity and variability (among many other functions). using remote scanners like Sucuri and Norton Safe Web to name a few, gamerecon has been checked by these and other scanners returning a “didn’t detect any malware” as of the time of this post. If your still concerned? Check for yourself here – https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/

Q: Could my PC be affected when I visited gamerecon.net?

A:The malware affecting this site was “non specific” meaning it’s unlikely to effect a visiting computer, however, it is! possible. Do a virus scan, that’s all you need to do because windows defender recognizes the malware in question.

Q: What about my PayPal details?

A:No payment details or transfers are handled by this website, donations are handled by PayPal so your details have and will always be safe.

Q: Is there anything I can do to help?

A:YES!! Attackers scan for websites that have no content changes in the hope of finding abandon sites, starting a new thread in our forum helps lower our vulnerably by creating new content.

Q: What’s been done to harden up security?

A:Without giving too much away…

I have disabled “get your own gamerecon site” and will only allow this functionality manually by request.

Thanks for letting me know and I’m not sure how I managed to delete some, or perhaps even all of the donation history but I have an administrative list of past donations, just saying, if anyone needs a summary I should be able to provide one.

The donation plugin has been updated with a few much needed fixes so that is good, the spam protection seems to be working, please let me know it you find any bugs or other problems.
